Treat

A super short film from Spike Jonze for everyone's most recent favourite douche bag Kanye West.

Field Work

A exciting pop up shop and gallery called 'Field Work' opens in an unused shop on Hanbury Street this Thursday, 29th October. Curated by dreamy illustrator Caitlin Hinshelwood the upstairs shop will feature textiles, homeware, taxidermy, antiques, artists books, and gift cards from an army of young and twisted creatives. Downstairs is a gallery space with prints and works on paper for sale too. Well worth a look. You can read more on Caitlin's blog hinshelwooddeborman.blogspot.com

The Box

Can't decide whether I like or dislike this plot yet, or whether it looks cheesy or sufficiently weird enough to entice me. Each time I've watched this trailer I've been more excited to see it and quite frankly if it was a trailer for shit on a stick being directed by Richard Kelly (Donnie motherf**ng Darko) then I would go see it. Can't wait.

For Those About to Kern...

Dutch designer Rob Van Hoesel has some great work on his website. Go and get lost. I particularly love his Tabletto font.

Get Well Connected

This is a cover I have just designed for a book on how to further or begin your career specifically using today's online social networking tools. For those of you interested, read more on the company's website mybrandacademy.com

So we'll each make a work and place them together. Or side-by-side. Or within one another. I'd like to make a new work with glass clipframes. I'll use words then, clipframes and permutations. Maybe your poems in my frames? I like this idea of an accident waiting to happen. What if it's more specific to the space itself? Because it's quite small, it's only a storefront. The show's not up for long, so consider the duration. Roughness, too. And compression. Yours are modular in the same way as mine. They're permutations, visual rhymes of each other. That's what gives it meaning. It should be quite an empty gallery when you first look. Yes, the gaps are what will fill it. - DE & RG


For those of you not lucky enough to be able to make it, this is the 'Permutations' exhibition that opened last Thursday in New York at W/--- Gallery. It's a collaboration between Daniel Eatock and Rob Giampietro that consists of 1950's Concrete Poet Emmet Williams inspired word sculptures and some carefully composed, complimentary humble clip frame arrangements. Some lovely ideas executed brilliantly in this quirky little space.

Tomorrow, in a Year

The world seen through the eyes of Charles Darwin forms the basis for the performance Tomorrow, in a year. Theatre production company Hotel Pro Forma’s striking visuals blend with pop-duo The Knife’s ground-breaking music to create a new species of electro-opera.

It's been desribed by Pitchfork as looking like 'a neon hell filtered through David Lynch's melting brain'. Nuff said.

And from the inside...

This is my pick of 'The Year In Pictures' 1972. President Nixon looking completely bemused by the Chinese cuisine on offer at the dinner in Hangchow with Premier Chou En-lai. Priceless.

LIFE 1972

Check this out:Awesome LIFE Magazine cover from 1972, blogged about in great and interesting detail on The Font Feed. I picked up a copy on Amazon for like 8 squids. RAD.

Zero to 99

I discovered this dude Robert Pollard on Aquarium Drunkard and fell in love with his collages. You can check them out here and read about him (he's quite an amazing character) and his new Boston Spaceships album 'Zero to 99' here. Enjoy.

Permutations

Some kind of hootenanny put on by W/--- featuring the great Mr. Eatock amongst others. Not too sure what it is to be honest but the poster is bad ass (as are all the others from the W/--- collection - be sure to check their site) and it sounds tres interesting. I read about it here.

Tatami

My latest offering; an entry for the Social Designer competition to create a shopping bag sticker graphic for Japan Brand.
